Wallbox expands Pulsar family with Pulsar Pro

Wallbox has expanded its Pulsar family with its latest charger, Pulsar Pro, which has been specifically designed for shared spaces. The newest member of the Pulsar family includes features such as 4G connectivity and RFID reader to fit into shared spaces like flats, workplaces and depot charging.

“We wanted to offer customers looking for a solution for shared spaces the same compact design that has made our Pulsar family so popular, while optimising Pulsar Pro especially for shared spaces to provide independent communications via the 4G connectivity and the ability to add tariffs or limit access if needed for B2B installations,” says Alan McCleave, Director of UK and Ireland.

Designed for improved installation and service

Pulsar Pro has been designed to reduce costs for charge point operators and installers. Through a more intuitive installation and set-up process – including a backplate design to make installation quick and easy and the preconfigured 4G that enables faster commissioning – Pulsar Pro will also support power balancing between up to 100 chargers for improved grid management, and this will translate into more energy efficiency and lower costs.

Knowing that onsite visits can add to the lifetime cost of chargers, particularly in shared spaces, Pulsar Pro has a number of new security features to prevent unauthorised access, physical damage and cyber security attacks. Also, 4G connectivity enables over the air software updates which translates into lower on-site visits.

Knowing that physical damage is a pain point for EV charging in semi-public spaces, Pulsar Pro has a robust design, with a IK10/IP55 Protection to protect against impacts and water or dust, and an easily replaceable charging cable in case of damage.

Simplified payments

Pulsar Pro is designed to offer a simple and accurate payment experience for users. Pulsar Pro comes with an internal meter with less than 2% error that improves accuracy of energy transfers. The inclusion of 4G also ensures improved uptime, both for users and operators.

Pulsar Pro will be available in Europe and in all markets that follow IEC standards, including Spain, Netherlands, Italy, UK, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden.

Sophisticated business software

myWallbox business software is included, allowing administrators to group chargers by location, as well as managing them securely. In addition, users can be organised into groups and assigned chargers or locations with ease, thanks to a flexible user definition system, all monitored through a charging reporting system.

Several payment solutions are available, such as the monthly one that is most functional to tenants or employees accessible via app, RFID, or pay as you go, which works when you want it to be available to the general public and accessible via QR code from the myWallbox app.
